Hi @anxious parent
You have already had so much sound advice in comments above.
All to which I would agree with.
Hormones around the ages of 10 onwards play havoc in diabetics lives.
I was diabetic from the age of 5 - and as stated before, your daughter may also be snacking and not telling you. I think as a child with D we have all done it. So it is most probs a mixture of hormones / growth spurt, and maybe the odd sneaky snack.
As suggested above, I would book In to speak with her DSN and not the doctor.unless of course it's a diabetic specialist doctor.
As for the hypo and then highs, that could possibly have also been due to the liver dumping glucose after a hypo, I usually have a hypo, then my bloods can go a bit erratic and go high because of the liver dump - but then the liver wants to take it back which can then put u in another hypo.
These are all things I learnt from my DSN over the years, and I know there's always new things to learn even after all these years.
There are some really good people on this forum, some with many years of experience - and they're always happy to answer any questions.
I really hope her bg starts to behave for you both.
